Headaches

I have been plagued with terrible headaches of late. Not your everyday kinda headaches. You know the kind that make you stomach lurch and your head spin. . . . Migraine headaches. As a child my mom would be laid up all day with migraines I never understood how a headache could K.O. a person although I was always helpful. Now as an adult suffering through the intense pain I feel more sympathy for my mother.

My mom would always lay in her room with the light off and a cool cloth on her head. It was my job to make sure she always had a fresh frozen cloth. When I say frozen I mean frozen. Mom would take a few cloths wet them down and place them in the freezer. Then the cloths were rotated through.

Although I find the cold cloths helpful, for me sometimes it is not enough. My go to method of dealing with my migraines ...you ask. I prefer to pop some extra strength Advil and soak in a hot bath. I have conditioned myself to relax in the bath. I blame it on my Mom. It was her suggestion that I take a hot bath while suffering through terrible TERRIBLE cramps as a teenager. A hot bath really cures all. For your knowledge and betterment I have compiled a list of ailments a hot bath will cure.

A hot bath cures

~Migraines which has already been established

~ Menstrual cramps again established

~Gas

~ Normal headaches

~ Stress

~Depression

~ Over stimulation

~ Boredom

~ Labor (o.k. not a cure but a great coping strategy)

~Anger

~ Sadness

~ Guilt

~ Insomnia

~ Under stimulation

~ Muscle aches and pains from trying to get in shape

~ Muscle aches and pains from NOT being in shape

~ Self doubt

~overconfidence ( something about seeing yourself naked brings reality slamming back)

I recommend a hot bath to cure whatever ails you. It works for me.
